Grim assessment:
"The Ukrainian military is suffering from roughly 100 killed-in-action every day, and 100 to 300 wounded-in action, said Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff."

Stay strong.
We can only live in the present.

I wonder just how much this changed their culture.

This has me thinking....
Wife on a Plane!
Coming home!
I don't Bachelor very well anymore.
Nevertheless, I just enjoyed a sushi dinner - which doesn't happen unless she's traveling.

Put the lime in the coconut....
FYI, your district attorney, the one responsible for prosecuting crimes, doesn't have to tell the public what deal they made w/ the criminal in cases that don't make it to court.
When a DA takes over a case the victim is no longer the plaintiff and doesn't have any right to be included in any plea deal.
In San Francisco, the former DA reduced felonies to misdemeanors and didn't involve the victims or their attorneys.
We had no way to track that.
There needs to be a law for accountability.

Russians are such fuckers...for centuries. My great grandfather was a Lithuanian conscript for Russia in the Crimean war. Those assholes just keep breeding fuckers for generations.

This is the more clear answer to my original post:
- The ends do not justify all means
- If the means are immoral, and even if the ends are for a greater good, the precedent is reinforced that all immoral means are to be implemented to achieve any ends that result in that greater good
- Additionally, it doesn't provide assurance that the ends are ultimately for the greater good
- This would unhinge some basic tenets of a stable society
- Doxing children unhinges society

When snorkeling, please use reef-safe sunscreen.
Oh, and also, use sunscreen!

Poor bastard.
He'll see them eventually.

OK, so either Israeli mothers have an incredible sense of humor, or...Mossad does?

I was at the victory party last night.

Listening to the parents of Uvalde children-victims speaking to Congress made me go down this dark path.
What would sway those stone-cold hearts?
@stueytheround @Render
I actually did.
You have made me think more deeply about it.
Forgive me the spontaneity of my toot.
The part I grapple with is that thousands of children are about to die.
What solutions do we have left?
Solutions are not always ethical.
Some shouldn't ever be implemented.
But, if you lined up 1000 children and said that they are going to die before 6/8/2023, how extreme would be our actions to stop it?
Is the certainty of death worse than a targeted threat?
